SEC EDGAR Filing Agent Settings

 

File-To-SEC also enables you to change the CIK, CCC or password used for accessing the EDGAR website. This is especially useful when the password has expired and must be changed.

 

 

 

To change the CIK, CCC, or password within SEC Publisher’s File-to-SEC Module:

 

1.     Go to the File menu.

2.     Click on Preferences.

 

 

3. Click EDGAR to display the following menu:

 

 

4. Under Filing Agent, the following SEC EDGAR fields can be set:

 

a.     CIK (Central Index Key)

A unique number used to identify the entity submitting the filing. The number is public and can be found in the header information of all submissions. Use of the CIK differentiates between filing entities with similar names. A CIK is used to identify all filers, both EDGAR and non-EDGAR. Individuals should use their own CIK number and password each time they logon to EDGAR, even if their filings relate to different registrants. Enter the Filer Central Index Key (CIK) into this box. This key should be 10 characters long and is supplied by the SEC.

 

b.    CCC (CIK Confirmation Code)

The CCC is a code of eight characters having at least one number (0-9) and at least one special character (@, #, $, *). The CCC is case-sensitive and you must enter it exactly as created. Enter the Filer CIK Confirmation Code (CCC) into this box.

 

c.     Password

This area contains information pertinent to changing your password. Enter a password that is 8 characters, and has at least one number (0-9) and at least one special character (@, #, $, *).

 

 

Once the data has been entered, click the ‘Verify’ button. File-To-SEC will connect to the SEC EDGAR website, and verify if the information entered into SEC Publisher matches the information in the SEC EDGAR database.
